I Use MySQL and I don't have such kind of limitations.
I would blame Tom's MySQL interface or implementation, but not MySQL itself.
I certainly didn't intend to mean it was a Mysql limitation in general - I'm using it too for my user/password backend, and have all of these characters available in passwords:
`~!@#$%^&*()_-+={}|[]:;<>?,.
More than likely it is a system library or charset issue, or something like that...
that would be really surprising. I am most inclined to think that the password change is done via a (buggy) web interface or a buggy script. or maybe it is a PEBCAK?
so Tom needs to
reproduce the problem (to confirm the customer claim or to detect the PEBCAK)
describe how exactly the password is changed (what programs are involved)
describe what OS and software is being used.
